Granite project 40+ mph granite *BRUSHED*

[RC_kid]

ok, so i have an arrma granite and i recently (i think) got it up to about 40 mph with a new, but simple upgrade! (it's not even brushless it's still brushed i haven't gotten a real speed run with a gps yet, ill try when it warms up soon, but for now it seems to go about 40! )

the upgrades:

hobbywing 880 esc, https://www.amazon.com/HOBBYWING-QU...&keywords=hobbywing+880&qid=1616073354&sr=8-1

traxxas titan 12T 550: https://www.hobbytown.com/traxxas-titan-550-size-motor-12t-tra3785/p17628

full rebuild with avid bearings: https://www.avidrc.com/flexkit/?kit=2753&kitname=Granite+4X4+Mega

20kg all metal gear servo: https://www.amazon.com/ANNIMOS-Digi...9Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

16T pinion: (i had to drill a hole to make a custom mesh because the stock mega motor mount only has 14T, 15T, 17T, and 27T pinion holes but the custom mesh workes like a charm!

(this has nothing to do with speedrunning but i figured i'd add it in case anyone else wants to use it) 55mm led bar (direct fit between the front bumer mounted with the shock screws on the shock tower)

(i must say, the led bar is also quite bright for it's size!)

sorry i have no pics i might post some sometime soon

and i have to say, it's REALLY fast for being brushed! the truck is only running brushed 2s but the thing flies! im also going to go brushless 3s soon so even more speed will come

Or 50. Mine can probably go 70 if I throw my 20T pinion back on and make ONE pass. Hope the motor doesn't overheat. 20T with 5 inch tires. The fastest i've clocked was 43 and that was at night, on ourdriveway, 1/2 battery, one pass. I could probably get it faster on the road, at day, more than one pass, full battery, and go more than 150 feet.

I am barely going that with my 6s talion on 13t pinion
